So many words distracting from the beauty here.

I found my lust  
make-up stained,  
lying on the floor;  
    
an old dress tossed aside.

sorry. just how i see it.
 — kaleidazcope

Funny how some things can be just like a scene of black and white in a color film.
I liked this. So much character in so few lines.
 — 2quillsanity

I like this.
It makes me think of a predator---
maybe someone about to take advantage of a passed-out chick at a party.

Line 5 ties this up tightly.

I like this one alot!  The line breaks work well and it is just a nice contrast between rough and dirty subject matter, and a clean simple metaphor.
 — Riverwriter2

Well, shake it out and put it back on!   This is very nice and sharp.
 — Isabelle5

I agree with kaleidascopes assessment.  Needs to be tight and not waste a syllable.
 — Canuckster

Yes, the shorter the poem, the tighter the wording has to be.
 — Isabelle5

This poem has got attitude. Very concise. It almost seems that the first and second line could be combined with some punctuation...the last line is an incomplete sentence...I think.  A very likeable poem.
 — MrChris

i like kaleidazcopes suggestions better for the first part of the poem.
 — inutile

I think the reason kaleidezcope recommended the removal of line 3 is because it is redundant.  I like the tight nature of the poem.  Write more.

You lost your mind,
naked in the rain
like a paper bag
it's all spoilt now.


Your poem is better.
